Italicized words within quotation marks, Strong’s concordance numbers preceding Hebrew and Greek words or Bible chapter and verse in this post plus all future and past posts can be copied and pasted into any King James Bible with Strong’s concordance such as http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html
I failed to note previously that Greek Strong’s numbers take precedence requiring only the number to search while a Hebrew Strong’s Concordance search must include H like H1234 which will render Hebrew verb 1234 baqa` which was translated into 18 different English verbs best translated into to breach and 18 plus English words from one Hebrew word exemplifies why God is not present in English bible words.
The book of Romans is a condensed version of the bible. Paul is explaining to the Romans where and how “Israel” erred which relieved the Romans of culpability making Paul’s teaching more acceptable to the Romans but God’s process of salvation noted in the 10th chapter of Romans is minimized subsequent to aforementioned condensation exacerbated by translation errors. The English 9th verse says “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” but Paul did not say “thou shalt confess”. Paul said the Greek verb 3670 homologeo meaning to be together with God’s Word, which is a much higher bar to be “saved” than is erroneous English “thou shalt confess”. Paul did not say “confession is made” in the 10th verse. Paul said the Greek verb 3670 homologeo which is a much higher bar to “salvation” than is “confession is made”. I referred to what Paul said because Paul wrote in a letter to the Galatians “Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand” subsequent to Paul’s visual impairment sustained on the road to Damascus. Others [primarily Timothy] wrote the words Paul spoke. God defines the “gospel” as the words the angel of God spoke. Religion’s English words erroneously profess a multitude of simplistic criteria by which we are saved but Matthew 10:22 Matthew 24:13 and Mark 13:13 reflect God’s truth as long as we understand that “endureth” and “endure” mean to be the grammatical object of God as one’s only grammatical subject and the “end” is to complete transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways which no human being will know until we take our last flesh breath, so no one should puff themselves up. Getting the English words in the 10th chapter of Romans back to God’s truth reflected in God’s original Greek words is going to require lots more English words to explain the erroneous English words that cover and hide God’s inherent truth contained in the original Greek words subsequent to God coming to earth in the embodiment of Jesus Christ to divide us as documented in “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division” and God’s word is dedicated to the same “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” which will be explored in greater detail later in this post. To understand why God and God’s word want to divide us we need to understand God’s will and the “election” God said “I have reserved to myself” as opposed to “the rest” which includes Israel and excludes only the “election” in “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” with “it” being God’s truth via God’s Spirit. Grammatical subjects other than God mistranslate and misinterpret God’s original Hebrew and Greek words and cover God’s truth but God’s will is adequately defined in English in Joel 2:28-31 John 1:9 Romans 14:11 Acts 2:17 Acts 24:15 Luke 3:6 2Peter 3:9 Ephesians 1:10 Romans 8:21 Romans 11:26-32 and 1Timothy 2:3-6. The only way God’s will reflected in “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” is for God to preclude “the rest” from God’s truth via God’s Spirit to protect “the rest” from Matthew 12:32 “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”. We will break the 10th chapter of Romans into bite sized posts because it will require a whole lot of English words to correct man’s erroneous English words.
